An electrostatic dust precipitator that is installed in a factory smokestack includes a straight metal wire of length 0.7 m that

is charged approximately uniformly with a total charge 0.8 ×10−7 C. A speck of coal dust (which is mostly carbon) is near the wire, far from both ends of the wire; the distance from the wire to the speck is 1.4 cm. Carbon has an atomic mass of 12 (6 protons and 6 neutrons in the nucleus). A careful measurement of the polarizability of a carbon atom gives the value 1.96 × 10−40 (C · m)/(N/C). (a) Calculate the initial acceleration of the speck of coal dust, neglecting gravity. Your answer must be expressed in terms of , and . You can use other quantities in your calculations, but your final result must not include them. It is convenient to use the "binomial expansion" that you may have learned in calculus, that if . Note that can be negative. (Enter the magnitude. Use the following as necessary: , , , and for the mass of a carbon atom. Use the binomial expansion in your answer.)

Calculate the speed for a car that went a distance of 125 meters in 2 seconds time.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<h2>62.5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The speed of the car can be found by using the formula

s =  \frac{d}{t} \\

d is the distance

t is the time

From the question we have

s =  \frac{125}{2}  = 62.5 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>62.5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4
irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega

1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega

1.75 = 4.745\omega

\omega = 0.37 rad/s

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity ofthe ball the instant befo
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s

This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass, fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.
